Hawaii Lg. Top Prospect Reports

Official League WebsiteHawaii Collegiate League top 10 prospects (list)Perfect Game Summer Collegiate top prospect coverage
In
its first seven years of operation, the Hawaii Collegiate League was
known for its stability and progressive approach in skillfully
incorporating top high-school prospects into the league’s talent
mix.But
the league appeared to take a step back in 2012 on both counts as the
number of teams dwindled for the first time, from six to four, and
high-school talent was non-existent. In each of the past two years,
Perfect Game’s list of the league’s top prospects included four
recently-graduated prep players.The
distinguishing theme of this summer’s HCL prospect crop is all the
pitching talent assembled by the Oahu Paddlers. In all, Paddlers
pitchers occupy the top three spots on the accompanying list,
including rising Michigan State sophomore righthander Mick Van Vossen
at No. 1, and four of the top six, including rising Cal State
Northridge junior righthander Harley Holt (No. 6), the league’s
pitcher of the year. Despite the team’s obvious advantage on the
mound, Oahu finished second during the regular season and was quickly
eliminated in post-season play.FAST
